Continuously flooding the men with lust, Vizelle figured their resistances had diminished. Using her psionics, she once again bends them to her will, forcing them to hold donw Xi Fei, and cover her mouth.
“Oh, my, so secretive! It's almost as if you're trying to make me curious about this artifact!” Eanne chuckled. “Normally I would not insist, but I do need to know what I am dealing with here, since the Emperor will likely want to know before he agrees to give the sector to the Church. I could probably find out from other sources – there must be some records about the missionary and the artifact somewhere – but I'd rather hear it from you. If you are worried that I will share the information with other people – don't be, this stays between us unless the artifact poses a threat to the Empire. And even in the latter case only the absolute minimum people would hear about it. So how about? Can you tell me some details?” She tried persuading the bishop. “Or is there anything I can do to convince you?”
Xavier continued to enjoy the club's hospitality and after the second brandy he decided to pay and leave. He smiled at Felicia, 'I had a wonderful time, thank you. Until next time.' He paid his bill and headed out, strolling along the entertainment district.
Hersillia hums into the kiss, using her tongue to guide his into her mouth before suckling on it lightly. Her moans change pitch as he plays with her breasts and she shifts her weight so that he can palm them more easily. When his hand slips into her panties, he quickly finds she is all but dripping wet and touching her clit quickly makes her somehow even more so. "Nnnngh," she gasps, "I am... h-happy... you approve." At the same time, one of her own hands reaches down to unbuckle and unzip his pants, reaching into his underwear to lightly grip his cock and gently stroke back and forth. "And you... have grown quite... impressively... as well."
Yannika kept herself from nodding at Rhaiya's words. "Times of doubt can happen to even the most devout of us, it's true. But I've found that even in the darkest of times the gods can show you their presence. Jaya in particular I know is always with me. While the others float in and out of my life, I have always felt her touch. Perhaps- I'm holding a service shortly, for all those that've been harmed in recent times. I'd like to invite you to attend. You don't have to participate, just... you can observe from the balcony if you wish. But I think it'd do you some good to come. The goddess is quite comforting." She didn't want to engage with Rhaiya's last comment. Not yet at least. Perhaps after the service.
Elena smiled at the man. "Of course. I shall give her leave of the order. And should you find her suitable, I will give you my blessing in making her your mistress... or eve wife. After all, our order trains women to become wives for nobles." Elena assured him. "Now admiral, do we have anything left to do in the system? Or will the XVth and XVIth managed?" She asked.
Spoiler: Telepathy Roll D100: 1 (Crit Fail) Reaching out, she attempts to turn Xi Fei's men, but as she does, she feels their resistance stronger than she imagined, and is distracted by the way the crime boss touches her body. The psionic energy rebounds, slamming into Vizelle's mind, and everything goes black. Vizelle wakes up later, unaware of how long she was out, with a splitting headache. The first thing she notices is her surroundings. She's no longer on the second floor balcony, but in a cold stone basement, utterly naked, and hanging from the ceiling. One of the guards from before looks up at her. "You're awake. Who do you work for?" He strides over to her, not wasting any time.
Spoiler: Persuasion Roll D100: 90+15 (Persuasion Skill)=105 (Crit) Lysandra looks around. "Okay, but this absolutely must remain between us. The artifact is, well, something taken from the Research Institute. It's an object of immense power."
Felicia smiles. "Come back whenever you like." The entertainment district is lively and loud, filled with bars and restaurants, street performers, strip clubs and brothels, gambling dens and fight pits, etc. Now that the sky is dark, the whole district is lit in a neon glow.
(Goddamned dice rolls ruining my evil villainess plans.) "Nnh?" Vizelle mumbled as she wakes up in an unfamiliar place. "Aahn. Damn." She hissed, as she tests the strength of her binding. But as the guard starts to question her, "No one... mmh... I told you. I just got lucky." She replied, trying to recall if he was one of the guards she flooded with pleasure.
"I'm glad you like it...ugh...father said that ours might be too big for some women..." He continues to touch her pussy, as his other hand reaches back to undo the clasp on her bra. "You have no idea how many times I imagined this while you were gone." A finger enters her pussy.
Rhaiya nods. "I'll attend, I owe you that much." She looks at Yannika. "Are you sure you're okay, after...whatever you did to save Barra?"
Xavier enjoyed the cool evening air for a while longer, before he headed back to catch a taxi to the palace. Perhaps he should have a look at those fighting pits in the palace after all, though he probably wouldn't stay long before heading to his suite.
Thrax beams at the news. "Thank you. Don't worry, I'll treat her right, and the Jade Rose can always count on me and the 3rd Fleet. It's obvious that you serve the gods and the emperor well." (Thrax gains Seduced by the Rose - +15 to any of Elena's rolls trying to persuade or manipulate Thrax.) Thrax shakes his head. "No, they're incompetent, but with the prince captured, the XVth and XVIth Fleets should have an easy time mopping up the rest of the enemy. Ietra is saved." He smiles. "In fact, if you want, we can plot a course for home."
The guard strikes her with an electric prod, making pain flow throughout her body. "Who do you work for?" He repeats. Looking at him, a huge grey skinned alien, she's pretty sure that he was one of the men. The effect has almost certainly worn off now, though.
He heads down to the pits, but there are few matches of interest, and it isn't long before Xavier grows bored. Heading back to his room, sleep comes quickly. He's awakened the next morning by the feeling of warm sunlight on his skin through the window.
"Gghaahn!" Vizelle screamed in pain as electricity flowed throughout her body, "Nnnh. I already told you, I work for no one." She groaned, looking down as if in despair. But she uses her psionics to slowly raise the alien's arousal, making it seem as if he was naturally aroused.
“I understand,” Eanne nodded as her expression turned serious. “Rest assured I will not mention this in front of other people – the last thing I want is for a bunch of power-hungry fools to go after such an artifact. Causing a conflict between the Church and the Research Institute over it isn't much better.” She looked deep into Lysandra's eyes before continuing. “I just hope you and your superiors know how to handle the artifact properly. I'd hate to think I would be responsible for the consequences of misusing it due to trusting you and not saying anything.”
Elena smiled and nodded. "Please do that." She nodded. "I have a meeting with the Emperor." Elena turned to look at the star system she managed to save. It should buy her enough credit to move against the Emperor's confessor... but first, she would need to check why the admiralty refused the privilege of triumph to the third fleet.
Yannika smiled, pleased with Rhaiya's answer. But her question gave the priestess pause. "I-I'm fine yes, thank you. What I did was nothing compared to what she did. Nothing a good rest won't fix, and I'm sure I'll be able to get that on my trip back to the capital." She regarded the unconscious Barra and clasped her hand around the woman's "Thank you again sister. Rest and recover. You've earned it." She then released her hand and turned back to Rhaiya, "The service will be starting soon. Shall we?" she offered indicating her desire to depart.
